Black is Back

As soon as the weather starts changing, I find my inner goth clawing out! It's been a warm-ish winter for us here in Dubai but after a quick trip to Prague (bachelorette trip, need I say more?) I got my winter fix (with -2 weather as a high)!  I found these dresses to be a perfect mix of retro chic & girly goth but with a little lace & vintage gauze anything is possible I guess.  & of course since Florence Welsch from Florence + the Machine came into our lives it's all become kinda a norm don't you think? 

Rosa Maxi Dress at Nasty Gal for $78 AED 286.46

 The thing that I absolutely love the most about this dress is how fun & flirty it is! The lace in the back with the satin bit at the front (kinda reminded me of a girdle) for something that's pretty much very conservative you can see a little bit of the naughty in it! Is it ideal for the festive season? Many people won't agree with me but yes! I believe a black dress can go a long, long way & it's all about the accessorising (I know, again?! But I'm such a sucker for using a great pair of earrings or a necklace to spice up a look)

Wendy Nichol Gauze Vintage Slip Dress for $560 AED 2056.61

When I first saw this dress I fell ABSOLUTELY in lourve with it! It's a combination of 'Little Women' meets the 21st century (it's not taboo anymore to wear sleeveless).  I lourve everything about it from the slip underneath to how delicate the layer of gauze is.  This is a perfect dress for all season & any season! & if you're into the unique & of course the vintage then this is THE PERFECT DRESS for you!

LNA Contrast Skater Dress at Boutique 1 for AED 655

I know, not very gothic-y but this appealed to my girly side holding onto the dark goth feel but not at sweeping lengths! I think this dress for all the parties would be perfect for the evening more so than the other two because it'll offer you enough warmth (with the long sleeves) without being too over powering especially if you plan on going out to a party or two.  Pair this with fun tights (like polka dots) or deep reds (to get you feeling festive) & you're ready to go!

xoxo for now ma PFFers,

P.S. If you ever do make your way over to Prague make sure you book a dinner out at SaSaZu! One of the best meals I've ever had!  Make sure you ask your waiter to let you into the club once your done with your meal to dance off all those calories (they've got a door straight to the club from the restaurant itself so you don't really have to walk out & walk back in! It just doesn't make any sense) & a nice long brunch at Cafe Cafe! Officially the YUMMIEST croissants I've had in a long time!

P.P.S. Link of the Day: Ok, if you haven't noticed by now I'm completely obsessed with DailyCandy! I absolutely LOVE IT!  They constantly inspire me to kinda think outside the box & although I worked in a gift wrapping company, I've come to realise that I can NOT tie a ribbon properly if my life depended on it! So, since sharing is caring, I thought I'd pay it forward & help someone else out who sometimes might get stuck wrapping! Hope this helps!

P.P.P.S. Song of the Day: Cherish the Day by Sade (yes, prepping myself for her concert this friday & I'm super PSYCHED about it! Are you huge fans? What are your favorite Sade songs? She's magic! Pure magic!!!
